step 1: open brackets n rmb to flip the signs
step 2 (optional): rearrange to make the equation clearer to add/minus
length of 3rd side:
(8x + 3) - (2x + 1) -(5x + 2)
= 8x + 3 - 2x -1 - 5x -2
= 8x -2x -5x +3 -1 -2
= x
Therefore, length of 3rd side is X cm.
---
If perimeter = 75cm,
8x +3 = 75
8x = 75-3
8x = 72
x = 9 cm
Therefore,
1st side = 2(9) +1
= 19 cm
2nd side = 5(9) +2
= 47 cm
3rd side = 9 cm
X-1/3 = y-2/4
4(x-1) = 3(y-2)
4x-4 = 3y-6
4x-3y = -2 --->1
4x +3y =8 ---->2
2-1 ; 6y = 10
y = 10/6 or 5/3
And 4x + 3(10/6) = 8
4x =3
X = 3/4
What does one poop say to the other ?
1 is the 3rd option down
2 is the second option down
It has to be the first one
